Mission life is going great! I love doing this work, it isn't always easy but its always worth it.
Fun thing of the week was that on Monday night we got a call from the sisters asking us to join in a week long service project , so of course we said yes!, Then we find out that we are to wake up at 5 and be at the hospital by 5:45 so that we can grab brooms and sweep the streets of all the garbage every morning till Saturday haha. Lots of early morning with a tired and worn out son! But now it is over, but the effects were amazing i must say.
I think you're a prophet mom, you were right, because "B"s mom did soften up. She saw us cleaning the streets and the night we went to see "B" she was really warm and inviting, she seemed like she really liked us. she even opened up and told us about two missionaries that used to come see here. She couldnt remember their names but it seemed like they were fond memories. Of course she seemed a little apprehensive about hearing anything so i thought we should just leave and let her continue to soften. but it was amazing !
Same thing with another members daughter. she never really talked to us but one night we came over and she was talking to us like we were her best friends. She had all sorts of questions and she really seemed like she was grateful for the help we gave to the city.
So all in all the service was good. Seems like everyone saw us haha.
Any ways Highlight of the week while teaching was a lady named "E". She is actually the mother of 3 kids who are friends with "K". The 3 kids come to church actually. And we talked to the mother and she says her kids seem to like the church and she knows that she needs to go to church so one day she will start coming with them. We actually got to teach her the message of the restoration and she seemed like she was really interested. We actually invited her to be baptized and she said if she knew it was true she would be. she doesnt have a baptismal date yet, but she is planning on reading the tract again and coming with her questions to the next time that we meet. She is very prepared.!
Ah so it sounds like all the cool stuff back home happens when I am not there haha, a broadcast across all of Canada and so many mission calls haha and so many prospective elders : ) it makes me so happy to hear all those boys the year younger than me making that decision!
Things are lots of fun here in the mission field but I'm not thinking of any stories.
As for the weather we are actually just moving into hurricane season so it is starting to get windy and raining more but its good we were just in a drought so "rain is a good thing" (country songs :) )
Anyways i love you much!
Love Elder Pierson
